Installation / Upgrade

To install a new PhixFlow instance, follow the standard installation instructions.

To upgrade an existing PhixFlow instance, follow the Standard Upgrade Instructions plus the special instructions for all intermediate releases.

This release has no special instructions.

Prerequisites

This PhixFlow release requires:

Java 7
Apache Tomcat 7

One of:

Oracle 11g or 12c (preferred)
SQL Server 2008R2 or later
MariaDB (MySQL) 10.0.14 or later

Features / Improvements

System Administration

Security

It is no longer possible to create a new user without also setting a password, and this avoids a number of secondary issues arising from users that have no password set.

Active Directory Integration

Active Directory integrations can now directly specify the rootDN within which to search for user records.

Performance

Data Caching

The default value of the System Configuration default pipe cache size, set in the 6.0.0 migration scripts, has been increased to 100,000.

Bug Fixes

Installation

Migration Scripts

Invalid identifiers on privileges and role_privileges tables have now been corrected.

Streams

Local Attributes

Stream Attributes that were flagged as local and whose attribute expressions returned list values could cause analysis to fail with an internal error. This has now been resolved.

Collectors & Exporters

Database Exporters

Database Exporters now use a separate thread pool in which to run parallel exports. This was done to remove one possible cause of deadlocks (which resulted in the system hanging).
